Back in time…
at 20:44 10 Jun 2024

Recently picked up some old Town match day programmes in a charity shop. Couple of items in one dated September 4, 1973 (Newcastle United) are interesting

In the ‘Charlie Woods with the youths…’ column a bit about a new apprentice from Scotland by the name of John Wark. A 16 year old ‘…centre-half…quick on the turn, good in the air and has good control…Let’s hope that John has a happy and successful career at Portman Road’. Any idea what happened to him?

On the same page a bit about standing tickets for the UEFA Cup first round match against Real Madrid being on sale at the turnstiles at that nights’ match … for 75p. How times have changed

Who is going to be our first signing, when and for how much?

As a supplementary question how many will be incoming to Town during the window?

Next season in the Chamionship
at 15:05 29 May 2024

Know it’s not our worry but Championship is going to be difficult to call next season.
Three relegated teams with money to burn.
Dirty Leeds have plenty of players to sell and parachute payments to get them past their financial difficulties.
Middlesbrough, WBA and Coventry will be strong.
Watford a bit of a wild card so who knows?
QPR and Wendies finished well and both seem to have found a good coach if they can hold on to them.
Pompey and Derby will hope to carry their momentum on from promotion.
Sunderland might get it right at last
Can’t think missed anyone of note

Random thoughts from a returning poster…
at 16:16 20 May 2024

Sometimes the stars align and everything seems to go right and a virtual circle is formed.
Perhaps events at Portman Road at present is an illustration of that.
Perhaps when Palace came calling it gave both KMcK and the club pause for thought. It gave KMcK a chance to bargain and outline what he needed to get ITFC into the PL and for the club to agree to that and tie him to a longer contract to achieve those aims.
Perhaps KMcK, being the person of high integrity that he is, now wants to fulfil on that.
Perhaps the club, knowing his loyalty, don’t feel the need to make any comment on the current speculation.
I know there’s a lot of perhapses there but it wouldn’t surprise me if at least some of it is true. The more we learn about KMcK and read about him he seems to be very loyal and have huge integrity. Maybe making myself a hostage to fortune with this but can’t see him going anywhere at the moment.
